Zig Zag Railway #1049.

Zig Zag Railway #1072.

A picture of the whistle heard in the track, as seen mounted on #1049.

This sound effect can be found on the Soundstorm Sound Effects Library, which was made by SoundDogs.

The whistle that is heard in this sound effect came from Zig Zag Railway steam locomotive #1072 as 1049 wasn't operational until 1994. Both of which have worn the same whistle at different occasions throughout their career.

Because of this, it is unknown which one of the two engines had worn the whistle at the time of the recording. It possibly originated from an unidentified 1980s sound library.
